Removed from the heart of Raleigh activity in an inconspicuous strip mall near RDU airport lies some of the most sought-after sushi in the state. When Waraji opened in 1997, Triangle sushi and sashimi lovers began driving from all corners to enjoy the expertly crafted, flavorsome rolls. Grab a spot at the sushi bar, where many a customer interact with the friendly chefs for suggestions or just a little Nigiri 101. An assortment of classic Japanese entrées – including tempura, teriyakis and the fondue-like shabu-shabu – are also available. Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
